Setup and safety

Operational readiness before patient-facing launch

A serious vestibular platform requires facility planning, operator training, safety checks, and clinician-governed screening before use.

Facility requirements

Room, footprint, power, and continuity

Final specifications should be verified during site assessment and implementation planning.

Operator workflow

Trained operators follow a defined clinical pathway

  1. 01Confirm patient suitability and clinician-defined pathway
  2. 02Inspect room readiness, restraints, safety bar, and emergency stop
  3. 03Set up video goggles and workstation monitoring
  4. 04Run selected protocol within operator training scope
  5. 05Document observations, response, and follow-up requirements

Contraindications

Do not proceed where contraindications apply

  • Acute cardiac events
  • Venous thrombosis
  • Pregnancy
  • Severe medical conditions
  • Overweight above rated load

Use with caution

Clinician-determined risk review

  • Hypertension
  • Retinal detachment
  • Reflux esophagitis
  • Post-cardiac intervention situations
  • Other clinician-determined risks

Final screening remains with the supervising clinician and the clinic's governance process.

Governance checklist

Pilot readiness checklist

Document supervising clinician responsibility

Recommended before launch and during ongoing program review.

Define contraindication and caution screening

Recommended before launch and during ongoing program review.

Train operators before patient-facing use

Recommended before launch and during ongoing program review.

Confirm emergency stop and restraint checks

Recommended before launch and during ongoing program review.

Maintain incident and adverse event reporting

Recommended before launch and during ongoing program review.

Review referral and compensation structures for local compliance

Recommended before launch and during ongoing program review.

Track outcomes without implying guaranteed results

Recommended before launch and during ongoing program review.

Next step

Assess setup readiness

Review room, power, safety, operator training, and clinical governance requirements before launch.
